Tou is one of Norway's largest independent cultural institutions — the old Tou brewery in Stavanger Øst, now 14,500 m² of stages and studios running more than 400 events a year, with Ølhallene taking up to 1,200 in festival mode.
Hall
1,250 m² of former cold beer stores, chosen originally for their stable cool temperature. Refitted with new floor, heating, power outlets, lighting and balanced ventilation, with storage vaults and toilets. Needs rigging before it reaches its full potential.
900 standing, 300–400 seated for dining, 1,200 in festival mode.
Main stage
The legendary main stage, originally the brewery's boiler room and later a store. Extended and substantially renovated in 2017–18 with lighting, ventilation and new toilets while keeping its original character. A long bar, a large stage and an adjoining foyer used as entrance, welcome area and cloakroom.
390 standing, 180 in cinema rows, 140 seated for dining. 180 m², or 262 m² including the stage.
Stage
Scene 1 is the 1966 brewhouse, with large windows onto the fjord and an eight-metre ceiling. Hiring it includes Scene 2 — the 1920s brewhouse with marble walls and two levels, good as an entrance or lounge — and the bar and terrace between them.
